Tasting note
- Appearance : or vif.
- Nose : onctueux, riche. La tourbe grasse, la suie, la terre (gentiane) et des notes animales (cuir, viande fumée) plantent le décor. Alors, les fruits (pamplemousse, ananas), le miel, la menthe, l’orge maltée et les fleurs des champs entrent progressivement en scène.
- Palate : à la fois vive et douce. La tourbe a laissé place à la réglisse mais ce sont les fruits qui tiennent le premier rôle (poire, pomme). Elle se développe sur l’amande, la praline, les raisins secs et les épices (curry).
- Overall : ferme, tendue. La noix grillée, le tabac annoncent un caractère empyreumatique (eucalyptus, pin). Sa belle amertume maltée est prolongée par le chocolat noir et les fruits acidulés (abricot, framboise).

The brand
Rather unjustly, Benriach was, until just a few years ago, relatively unknown, but it hasn’t ceased to make up for lost time. Indeed, this distillery has, for many decades, had a huge amount to offer and has proven this time and time again since being bought in 2004. Its warehouses are bursting with all sorts of sherry butts (Oloroso, Pedro Ximénez, etc.), new American oak casks, ex-bourbon barrels and hogsheads dating back to the 1960s, as well as casks previously used for wine, rum, madeira, port and even Rioja! This Speyside single malt is entirely worthy of the interest it has garnered from master blenders since its creation. Find out more
